The Burke Family [Lancaster Family Photographer]

I was incredibly excited when I was contacted for this shoot. Vanessa was a family friend since WAY back when we were kids, and I hadn't really spoken to her or seen her much in quite a few years. It was incredibly exciting to meet her husband Joe and their two boys, Dexter and Tenzin.

We met them at Rock Ford Plantation here in Lancaster for what turned out to be a perfect afternoon. The boys had a great time running and gathering leaves, and Vanessa and Joe even got a few quiet moments with just the two of them, something in short supply, no doubt!

All too soon, we were saying our goodbyes, but we truly hope it won't be such a long time before we get to see Vanessa, Joe, Dex and Ten again!
